Cute RailrOading.

Yesterday the Montana Union officials
captured two more engines from the Utah
&Northern, making three iip all thus taken.
The Montana Union had before the block
ade five engines OF the Utah & Northern,
and when the work between Anaconda and
Butte was stopped three engines were sent
below. The assumptions OF the Anaconda
made the use OF more motive power on
this end OF the line an absolute necessity.
and repeated requists'w we're Bent down Tor
the five engines. There are about ten en-.
gines receiving repairs at Pocatello which
had been injured in buckirg snow, and
consequently the u. & N. was also short,
and sent no engines up. As reported in
Yesterdays MINER President Dana COB
bled a I'd N. engine, and since that no
engines were hauling freight above Silver
Bow, and some forty cars of freight col.
lected there. Yesterday President Dana
took the engine off the q. & N. passenger.
which got in at 2 O'Clock, and sent it out
with a load for Anaconda. He scraped up
another somewhere, and says he will keep
this end OF the line moving now. =

THE VARIETY LAW.
A Test Case Agreed Upon to Determine
its Validity.

Messrs. Gordon & Ritchie, not wishing to
place themselves in the position of willful
yiolators oil a lawful statute of the land,
have agreed with the proper authorities to
make up a case to test the validity OF the
law known as the Variety Act" The
gentlemen are %law.abiding, tax-paying cit
liens, who have a large amount OF money
invested in their business, and are willing
to abide by a Judicial decision as to
whether they shall close Their theater or
not, but they Justly hold they but exercise
a vested right in taking steps to determine
the question as to whether their property
shall remain valueless upon their hands or
whether it can be used for the purposes for
which it was constructed. -.
II the law be declared constitutional,
as law abiding citizens they will abide by
it without further opposition on their
part. This is all they desire. to know.
Their course is dictated by q natural de-
sire to protect themselves, in which they
are sustained by several OF the most prom
ipent business men OF the city. The case
will be tried the first Of the week.

at this he o~verhauled the stores in the boat.
When we finally gathered around him again
he announced that he had found a lantern
and a pint of oil, two hatchets, q harpeon,
three muskets, with powder and ball for about
twenty rounds, a lot of matches, two tins
of ships biscuit, a key Of water, and there
was the whale line On its reel, and the ice an
Choir to complete the list. We moved along
in a body to where the carcasses were lying,
and at the projection which had stopped their
further Hight we began cutting a cave in the
ice. The berg was hard as ice can freeze,
but our hatchets and harpoon had keen edges.
and before darkness settled down, taking
turns at the work, we had cut out q cavity
seven or eight feet deep by as many broad.
It made a capital shelter from the furious
snow storm, which still prevailed without the
least sign of abatement, and as soon as we
were sheltered from that w were compare
lively warm.
Tie bodies Of the bears had not yet frozen,
and Mr.. Wharton lighted the lantern and we
set to work with our sheath knives to skin
and dress them. Our real situation was
scarcely referred to by any of us, although
each man fully understood how desperate 1t
was. We had biscuit sufficient to last the
five for a week or ten days-that is, enough
to sustain life for that length of time. 1t we
were compelled to remain on the berge the
bear meat would be a godscnd to us. Every
man had this reflection, but no man gave
utterance to his thoughts. We cracked jokes
and tried to be cheerful, and, could a sixth
man have looked in on us, he would haves said
we were enjoying ourselves immensely. The
big skins were spread on the floor Of our ice
the carcasses cut up in handy pieces,
and when darkness fell upon the ocean weJay
down side by side without having eaten or
drank. and were soon asleep. Ihad knocked
about in all sorts Of crafts and had sailed In
all seas, and peril was no new thing to me:
When I lay down I had to admit to myself
